Hard Fought Green Card Victory

We just
obtained a Green Card for our client, a citizen of Canada, after a three year wait. Our client is married to a United States citizen, but had previously
overstayed her status, and subsequently departed the United States. As a result she was
stuck outside of the country. We first had to convince that United States
Consulate that our client was not inadmissible to the United States when
applying for her visa to return.We won
this battle and a visa was issued.

Our client
then entered the United States,
but immediately departed to settle her affairs in Canada.While in Canada
she lost her passport which contained her visa, and then returned to the United States
without it. She was admitted to the United States
without the visa, but had no proof of her last entry which was required by the
government in order for her to be able to apply for her Green Card inside of
the country.

The USCIS has finally approved her Green Card application.In three more years she will be eligible to
apply for United States
citizenship.
